Abstract

Let T:KH be a mapping from a nonempty closed convex subset K of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space H into H. Let f:K be proper, convex, and lower semicontinuous on K and let h:K be continuously Frećhet-differentiable on K with h (gradient of h), α-strongly monotone, and β-Lipschitz continuous on K. Then the sequence {xk} generated by the general auxiliary problem principle converges to a solution x* of the variational inequality problem (VIP) described as follows: find an element x*K such that T(x*),xx*+f(x)f(x*)0 for all xK.
